He is now selling PRO-PANNNEEE like his father did before him.

Venable, like other Managers, adheres pretty strictly to Righty/Lefty - Lefty/Righty splits in making a line-up, That's fine, but IMO, every decision in formulating a starting line-up should not always be grounded on split stats mainly because starting pitchers seldom last past 5 innings any more. Also some hitters , like Antonacci who has bad splits, just seems to get dialed in when the game is on the line. I would never pinch hit for Antonacci. Let him grind at the plate, maybe get a hit, a walk, or HBP.

And I did. 🤣

YOU WILL READ THIS

I thought you were talking about the present. Yes, they called him up on June 20th. They cut him and resigned him to another minor league contract. This time, they likely cut him from his minor league deal to get a shot with another team.

Looking at his stats, he was called up by the rangers this year. So yes. 10 PAs but he was called up.

Is he pitching against the Yankees this week? Does making this statement bold and huge make it more meaningful than...not meaningful at all?

You sure?

That meme/sentiment started WAAAAAAY before that. Like when KW was GM.

They can’t keep running him out there if he can’t go more than 4+ without surrendering 3-5 runs for much longer. It has become the law of diminishing returns recently.

Preller trades don't count

Except for Wood Jr., CJ Abrams, M.Gore and Leo de Vries… And the opposite side of it: “In my opinion one of the greatest trade deadlines not just in the history of baseball, but maybe the greatest in the history of sports. If you disagree please tell me a time a GM traded for the equivalent of the NLDS MVP (if they gave one out it would have gone to Joc Pederson), the NLCS MVP (Dodger killer Eddie Rosario), and the World Series MVP (Jorge Soler) before the trade deadline.”

He knows position players well.

This doesn't mean "don't be afraid to trade prospects because they don't pan out". This means "teams don't trade their good prospects".

I think it’s got to be higher than 100. I don’t recall them saying Schultz would have a massive innings restriction on him this year. He’s got 12 turns left in the rotation and at 5 innings per start that would put him at 140 total on the season. May guess is they use off days to skip two starts and land him around 130.

We face two LHPs in the four game series vs. the Yankees. Right now, it looks like we’ll miss the Rays’ two LHPs. It won’t be a big showcase, but teams are desperate for RH hitting. Assuming Hays gets the call, he really needs to make these couple of starts count.

Vaughn hit one out yesterday. OPS just under .900. Jake Bauers getting most of the action at first base.

Antonacci against lefties, Peters against lefties, or Braden against lefties.

Yah, me too. Law is sharp. The first time he openly questioned the WS, in my memory, was right after the Shields/Tatis disaster. He was right, of course.

I take it you know him.

That is factually true

Schultz would have more innings under his belt if he could just get some more hitters out.
